Sage Addition street project getting close to finish

Drivers are enjoying the new surface on streets in the Sage Addition, most of which are now paved with concrete. The project is nearing completion, with just West 11th St. left, as well as the intersections along West 11th at Sage, Buffalo and Bluestem. Above, a vehicle Tuesday morning drives along West 12th St., which has been open now for several weeks, as preparations for the paving of the east end of West 11th St., below, were also underway. City Public Works Supt. Pat Davison said the Werner Construction crew hoped to pour the concrete on West 11th Thursday this week, weather permitting. Work was delayed slightly from Tuesday’s rain and snow, but temperatures were expected to be back into the 50s by Thursday and remain in the 50s and 60s throughout next week. The contract states the project needs to be “substantially complete” by mid-November. (Republican photos)
